DABlog is David Alan Black’s new blog about Ruby and other things.
Making Senses, Matt Webb’s reboot8 slides.
Translate Haskell into English Manually, by Shannon Behrens. “Write a program in Haskell that translates C type declarations into English.” Neat start.
Matt Webb’s Wikipedia Contrail, this is mine: Alternative algebra, Kris Kristofferson, Modular arithmetic, Quadratic reciprocity, Sedenion. Scary.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

How to Divide by Three, it’s not as easy as it seems.
Scaling Up with XQuery, Part 2, by Bob DuCharme. “This week, we’ll see how to perform the same setup and usage tasks with two more servers: eXist and Sleepycat’s Berkeley DB XML.”

auf jeden fall:
geht in den copy shop und legt eure köpfe
auf die glasflächen der geräte und kippt
die deckplatten über eure frisuren nach dem neuesten

und schliesst die augen—
der blitz der erkenntnis brennt sie euch sonst
aus ihren höhlen
— KD Diedrich, Dunkle Zeilen
In memoriam K.–D. Diedrich, † 2006, leider etwas verspätet.
